Harawira told Radio Waatea that "Goff and his mates are
responsible for the passing of a piece of legislation described as
the single largest land nationalisation statute in the history of
Aoteroa," refering to the Seabed and Foreshore Act.

He goes on to say that "If I should be suspended for swearing,
then Goff and his mates should be lined up against a wall and
shot."

Goff had earlier ripped into Harawira, saying there would be a
howl of protest if a pakeha had said similar comments about another
ethnic group, and that Harawira should be suspended.

He says for Harawira to try to defend his actions behind
culture, when it's a lack of character which led to them - is
totally unacceptable.

He will hold a news conference at Auckland University's Waipapa
Marae at 3pm on Tuesday afternoon.

Hone was in Kitimat (Canada) for a conference for American Indian Nations, did his usual racist rant and blamed white people for everything wrong and then left after being presented with the indian name of walking eagle... This means 'one so full of sh!t, he can not fly'. Hone, give it up mate, you look like an idiot... It is New Zealand, not Whites and Maoris, Us and Them, people like you incite racism... Let it go... Bro!

Harawira should look at the history of his own race before criticising others. They stole land from, raped, murdered and ate their own people when they felt like it. He should read the book "This Horrid Practice" by Paul Moon plus accounts in the National Archives of Maori history.

It looks as though they are waiting for all the racist hype to quiten down, and then keep him on in the party. Mind you... when you think about it, if they kick him out, the Maori party will have to deal with the wrath of Hone's fans. And if they keep him, they have the rest of the country to deal with!! GET RID OF HIM! NZ has no room for racist politicians.

Being in New Zealand from Australia to witness Hone's spectacular racist and stupid remarks was fascinating. Do they help even if true? Hone, I wish you and your people all the best. At least the Maoris have a political party - Australian Aboriginies do not.

This is completely unacceptable, this is a truly horrendous double-standard applied to this entire political circus. As it has been pointed out before, If a Pakeha MP was to make the same comment about Maori then he would be expelled.
Instead, We get a maori party unable to face up to it's responsibilities as a political party. Mark my words, there will be massive public outrage if he isn't expelled from his causcus.
